Primal Scream › Lyrics › Rise

A life of work, is a life of crime
You pay your taxes, you serve your time
And all that money, where does it go?
Schools, prisons, hospitals, roads

And Government funding of military science
Genetically engineered ultraviolent DNA, Killer Genes
To program microchips, marines
And see stealth bombers and tomahawks on CNN, pay-per-view war

And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise

Hey, wage slave, where's your profit share?
They got ya down, they're gonna keep you there
And freeze your mind, metamorphose
And cocaine karma in the heroin zone

Multinational life is cheap
And soldiers, workers, maggots meat
Get on up, protest riot
Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?

And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise

Sweet sixteen dehumanized
And deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
And deaths head factory suicide

Sweet sixteen dehumanized
And deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
And deaths head factory suicide

And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise
And rise, rise
